Kate Middleton craved one odd food when pregnant with Prince Louis
The Royal Family are well-known for taking good care of their health by ensuring they take regular exercise and watching what they eat. The late Queen was perhaps the most well regarded for watching her diet as she preferred simple dishes with lots of fruit and vegetables, rather than those with thick and heavy sauces.
Another member of the family who has become well-known for leading an incredibly healthy lifestyle and diet is the Princess of Wales. While this is the case, she is said to have experienced some rather unique food cravings when she was pregnant with her third child, Prince Louis.
William and Kate welcomed their son Louis Arthur Charles at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington on April 23, 2018. It is well-known that the Princess faced many difficulties during her pregnancies and was even briefly hospitalised for a type of severe morning sickness called Hyperemesis Gravidarum before Prince George was born in 2013.

And like many who are expecting, Kate also experienced several very strange food cravings which included enjoying incredibly spicy food and curries. But perhaps the most unusual was her reported craving for thinly sliced pickle on brown toast.
Kate also reportedly ate avocado to cope with her difficult struggle with morning sickness. During the royal visit in 2017, Prince William was offered an avocado by a young boy whose mum was suffering too.

William told the little boy: “I’ve never been given an avocado before. That’s really sweet of you. Catherine will love the avocado.”
When it comes to Kate's favourite snacks, it seems she only has a penchant for the healthiest foods. She has been known for satisfying her hunger cravings by sticking with raw fruit and vegetables, including immune-boosting goji berries.
She has also been known to opt for popcorn, which can be a brilliant and tasty low-calorie snack to keep you going in between meals, if it is not coated in too much sugar. But when it comes to her favourite snack, it is apparently olives - and she shares this love with her daughter, Princess Charlotte.
The revelation came back in 2018 during her visit to Great Ormond Street Hospital, where she chatted to a four-year-old who was waiting for a heart transplant. The patient revealed that he liked to eat olives, to which Kate replied: "I used to eat lots and lots of olives when I was little as well."
